Filmmaker Andrew Rossi has built a career out of zooming in on Manhattan-based institutions like The New York Times and the Met Gala . With his latest project, he takes a thoughtful and humanizing look at another New York icon and this time, it has deeply personal resonance.

The Andy Warhol Diaries , which debuted on Netflix last week and is executive-produced by Ryan Murphy, is a pop art lovers dream. The six-episode docuseries is a fascinating deep dive on artist Andy Warhol , whose impact on modern culture remains without parallel 35 years after his death.

Rossi charts the highs and lows of Warhols well-documented, public-facing life in the mid-to-late 20th century from his strict Catholic upbringing in Pittsburgh and subsequent arrival in New York to the founding of The Factory, his art studio and cultural hub, and the near-fatal shooting that forever changed his relationship with his work.

A New York native, Rossi began working on The Andy Warhol Diaries shortly after the 2011 release of his Page One: Inside The New York Times , which received two News & Documentary Emmy nominations.
